Pack's Jordan Finn will transfer, making him fourth player departure this offseason

Nevada guard Jordan Finn, who has spent the past three years on the Wolf Pack's roster, will transfer this offseason, coach David Carter said Monday.

Finn is the fourth member of the team to transfer this summer, joining forwards Kevin Panzer and Devonte Elliott and guard Jordan Burris.

Finn played sparingly his first two seasons at Nevada before redshirting last year. A source with knowledge of the parting said Finn was asked to leave the program after multiple violations of team rules.

“He won’t return next year," Carter said without providing further details. "It was a mutual agreement.”

The loss of Finn shouldn't have too large of an impact on Nevada. The junior-to-be averaged 1.6 points and 8.1 minutes per game in his Wolf Pack career.

Nevada returns all-conference point guard Deonte Burton and his backup, Marqueze Coleman. Also returning is senior guard Jerry Evans Jr., while UTEP transfer Michael Perez and incoming freshman D.J. Fenner, the player of the year in Washington, join the team.

“With Deonte coming back, there aren't a lot of minutes," Carter said. "With Mike Perez and Marqueze and Jerry you have four guys there, and then you add in D.J. Fenner and there wasn't a lot of playing time anyway.”

The loss of Finn gives one more scholarship to Nevada, which has two remaining this offseason. Carter said the team could add one more big man or a transfer player who would sit out the 2013-14 season, although that's not a guarantee.

“There are still a few guys out there who could sit out next season and learn our system," Carter said. "It's kind of late. I'm not sure if we'll add anybody. We're looking at three of four guys who we could potentially add through a transfer."

Carter also said Burris, Panzer and Elliott have not found colleges for next season. Carter said each player received a full release from Nevada, which means they could be on scholarship next season at another school.

"I've had some coaches call to inquire on them, but nobody has called me and told me they're going to add them," Carter said.

Wolf Pack note: According to a source, 6-foot-11, 250-pound power forward Chris Brown is expected to choose between Nevada, Texas A&M and Texas A&M-Corpus-Christi in the coming days. Brown began his career at Oregon State before transferring to Western Texas College last season.

Not a big surprise here. The surprise is that he didn't transfer before last season and keep his redshirt year. Good luck with Chris Brown.....he might help a bit!
